Chapter 356: 356:A Friendly Old Protagonist



Leon rubbed his eyes, unsure if his vision was playing tricks on him. "So, here they are and I wondered where all of them disappeared to."

A smile cracked across his face, but it held no warmth. Elena, clutching close to Leon, felt a shiver down her spine and recoiled. "Why... why are you smiling like that?" Her voice quivered with fear.

"Nothing," Leon replied coldly, his gaze fixed on a distant group of guards. "I just spotted some acquaintances who seem to be in trouble."

Elena glanced nervously at the surrounding walls, where shadows seemed to dance ominously. "Will we be safe here?"

Leon snapped his head towards the guards encircling them. "For now, yes. But we need to move quickly."

With a nod of understanding, Elena tightened her grip on her weapon. "Thank you for the warning."

Elena wanted to say something but Leon's gaze seemed to be somewhere else.Shaking her away without another word, Leon dashed forward and leaped over the edge of the wall.

The walls, a labyrinth of steel and concrete, rose ominously above them, layered with platforms that stretched high into the sky. The ground was a dizzying hundred metres below, the lowest platform hanging precariously at 20 metres.

Everything was holding up well until an earthquake struck.

"Ahahah!"

"Fucking shit.."

"Hold the lines..."

"AHHHHHHHH!NO!"

Few soldiers who weren't able to escape were forced to stay and engage in a bitter fight to the death.

If this wasn't enough, they soon started climbing up walls.

Some slimy creatures attached themselves to the wall and oozed upward by crawling up leaving behind a slimy trail behind while somebody underwent modifications right before

everyone.

Many pairs of slimy legs emerged from their body, bifurcating from the slimy mass and central maw acting as a pivot, and then those arachnoid legs attacked the wall like spiders and they climbed up with a blistering speed startling many, who joined new.

As the slimy black monsters continued their ascent, the intensity of the battle grew. A barrage of laser beams lanced through the air, striking a few of the creatures dead-on. The impact was devastating, splintering their bodies into acidic debris that rained down like corrosive rain upon the soldiers below.

Initially sparse, the monsters multiplied exponentially, and the writhing forms coiling around the soldiers like sinister serpents. Some of the creatures wrapped their slimy appendages around the soldiers, and their corrosive touch melting through armour and flesh. Others, with grotesque efficiency, covered their victims entirely, grinding them into unrecognisable masses of gore and bone with horrifying ease.

Ramirez, watching from above with horror etched on his face, felt a surge of helplessness and rage. "Jenkins, we have to do something!" he shouted over the din of screams and gunfire. Jenkins, already engaged in a fierce battle with a group of monsters scaling the wall near him, nodded grimly. "Understood.We need to clear a path down to those soldiers."

With a swift motion, he dispatched one of the creatures with a precise strike, the creature's acidic remains sizzled on the wall. Ramirez followed closely behind, his heart pounding as they navigated through the chaos, dodging attacks and striking back with lethal efficiency. Below, the situation deteriorated rapidly. The monsters, seemingly endless in number, pressed their advantage, overwhelming the soldiers with sheer numbers and ferocity. The air filled with the stench of burning flesh and the desperate cries of those fighting for their lives. "We have to hurry," Ramirez shouted, his voice urgent as they approached the first layer of the wall. Ahead, a group of soldiers was desperately holding off a swarm of monsters, their backs against the cold, unforgiving steel.

"KHUMMM!"

"Eeeekkkk!"

Just as they thought, the first line would fall.

SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!

Amidst the chaos of the monster onslaught, a figure emerged, wielding a gleaming laser blade that sliced through the writhing slimes with deadly precision.
